The Fisher & Paykel MR850 Respiratory Humidifier is a versatile, high-performance heated humidifier designed to warm and humidify gases for ventilated patients (adult, pediatric, neonatal). It features invasive and non-invasive modes, automatic algorithms to reduce condensation, and dual-probe feedback to deliver optimal moisture levels to the airway. Key Features and Detailed Breakdown
Mode Versatility:
Invasive Mode (37 °C, 44 mg/L): Ideal for patients with bypassed airways, providing optimal, body-temperature saturation.
Non-Invasive Mode (approx. 31 °C): Provides comfortable humidity levels for mask or headbox therapy.
Intelligent Technology: Uses temperature and flow probes to monitor and adjust power to the heater plate/circuit, minimizing condensate.
Safety Alarms: Features visual and audible alarms, including high-temperature warnings (above 41 °C) and probe faults.
Operation: Defaults to Invasive Mode; includes a 1-second hold to turn off and a mute button for alarms.
Clinical Utility: Designed to maintain natural airway defenses and optimize gas exchange, with a 7-year expected lifespan.
